Does anyone have any production information on the 2.3L engine offered from 1997-2000? The table on z3roadster.com suggests that the "2.3" tag was used on the models equipped with the 2.5L engine. Does anyone have any other information on this? --Milkmandan 00:54, 2004 Dec 31 (UTC)
- Yes, you are correct and the original author is incorrect. The 2.3 was in name only - the engine was still 2.5L. In other markets (such as Australia), a 2.0L 6-cylinder replaced the 1.9L in 1999, and in 2001, it was replaced with a 2.2L. The 2.5L Z3 was never sold here. Davez621 15:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Brain hurt
"Due to marketing, BMW wanted to differentiate the 2.8 L engine from the 2.5 L engine, so it was badged it 2.3 just like the 3-Series 323i, which also has a 2.5 L engine."
My brain is having trouble parsing that. I think it's saying the 2.5L is badged "2.3" on the car, but it's got the words in the wrong order or something.
